The ' Captain 'states, that intercourse between . the shore and the British Which had been carried on for sotne time, was :•lidtiv:ll:oloppetl, upon a report that 20,0(4) French roops -, wiere on timair march tor Cadiz ; 1111 d t'Vbe.n ilia last Packet from Admiral PURVIS was brought U) C:R.'llz, nu perm' would :take upon himself the tcyoirsibility of opening it. A Meeting of the In -hanltantswas then convened, at which the French Admiral was present, who it is said opened the I,,)ispatches, and having perused thern, immediately deinanded possession of the Forts of St. Sebastiana, Eurtales, Santa Catalina, and Matta Gorda, which . commands the entrance of the Harbour. With this demand, however, the Inhabitants refused to corn- The greatest attitno,ity prevails bt.tween tie 'People of Cadiz and the French Seamen and, Ma and the latter are very seldom on • shore without a skirmish taking place, in which . many Ices ore lust.' The Patriots are distinguished by a led cockade, in the centre oi which is a figure of 7 to signit'y thea attaChrnent to FERDINAND VII.

It will appear froth a perusal of tile Debate, that the Right 4un.Gentleman not only did not on this occasion at in concert with his ~.,„„aA, but thit the Motion - was made in dire& q )1 ,6311161): to their wishes and after a debate, or iailicr a conversation of goure length, it was with drawn. Mr. CApINING, in hili reply to Mr. SHERI i);N, declared that His Majesty's Ministers viewed vith a-lively interest the present struggle on the part of SpAin against the Oppression of France, and emy opp9rtanity uccntred el atibrding to Spain :41hibtance apitest the common Enemy ) it would not be rkfincinbered that bpain and England had been in a state of War. 'Die Opposition Writers have again renewed the hTort ! of a difference of opinion'in the Cabinet, and a 1... a proof of the ta6l,.tbey seriously declare that one of ale Ministers hos, been seen standing behind the as AILF.It ' S chair, while another was skill* on the Imago'Y Bench ! 46er tuck . decisive iv - 1(1cl* upon the subjekk, it may appear presamptuoui in us to question the accuracy of this statement we feel it, however, to be our duty to state to our Rei4ers, that there is as much foundation for this report of a difference in the Cabinet, as there has tieen for the similar reports which lie been brought forward, with great gravity; every weeks or two months since the present Ministers wino - into office, and which we ventuke-10 predia, will be brought forward with the same periodical regularity in future,•as long as the present Opposition are out of office. It is a little whimsical that, after the curious specimen of concord which the Opposition exhibited list night, they should think of charging their ad versaries with entertaining a diversity of opinion. Though the Party 'Writers confess th it it is im- . possible for them to state the nature of the'ansWet. given to the application from the Spanish Patriots, or to make known the sentiments of our Government on the sulijea, yet they are resolved, if possible, to bring discredit upon Ministers, whatever they may have determined on the subject. A few dzyi 'ago it was insinuated that Ministers -.might have designs upon the Religion of -the _Spaniards, in any assist ance which Government Might be disposed to ren der them ; and now it is intimated that Ministers think only of " seizing on Fleets, and Ports, and Settlements." But atter . stating ?s o ber invidious rumours as to the designs of Ministers re spe&ing Spain, the Writers alluded to ,affed some thing like candour, and sar, they " trust thatthese rumours are unfounded." Surely tl n wad have shewn more of the reality,of candour, if they had not mentioned such rumours, which, if they exist, must have berm the offspring of Mere malevolence, and as they . " trust these rumours are Unfothiced," to have at (nice given Ministers a generous credit for that syinpathy in the fate of a.People, threatened with oppression, which every true Briton mast be proud to fecl on such an occasion. But these . Writers" are not ,contented with an attack upon the present' Ministers, for they cast a leflealon upon " the Pilot who weathered the storm," mid wile, in the awful sanctuary of the grave, might be ekpeaed to escape from such a pitiful effalion of fa6tious spleen. We shall never see an frellasion to 'Opt great and virtuous. Statesman, without ,feeling our veneration for his illustrious talents and eminent services revived,' ner shall we suffer any retleaion on his charader to .pass unnoticed.

TEROZZA (the Ambassador from the Patriots of Spain), accompanied by this Secretary and a few. ,of the principal friend:, it the preaent,ftdininistration i , dined with Mr. Secretary CANNING, at his house in Bruton-stroct. A ,Hull Paper states; on the authority of an Offi cer of rank,. just 'arrived there from Gotteuburgh, that the King of SWEDEN has banished all IVlollSiCtir CRONSTED'S relations and , family, and will ,most certainly hang up; it he can catch them, all om it! , concerned in tine diabolical (Tease!) of the surrender of Sweaborg. On the same authority it is ita;cd, that General Moons's LxPeditien was destined to re-take Zealand and Copenhagen, and.give it to the King of SWEDEN and that it would not havebeen a tlitficult enterprize. BERNADOTTE was so provoked with the Kin of DENMARK, for not t»aking better military preparationS iptifinSt the English, that be in. suited his Majesty, and told him that five hundred British troops would drive twenty thousand of his Danish Militia into the sea. The loss of Sweaborg, however, deranged all the plans of the catopaigu, and rendered fresh instrattions from -.Enghum ressary. It appears by the latest accounts frotn.l.,i,;ho h , that in Portugal there are only twelve regiments or French troops, and nineteen regiments oti.Sp an i al : ( l 4. Considerable fears 'are eLlAertauled by the leiclich lest the Spaniards should, in consequence of th e p re ., sent situation of Si.ain, adopt measures hostll4: to France in Portugal. The St. Yincenes, BELL, hum St. Vincnt's, is arrived at Bristol with the rest of the I..2award Fleet for that Port. COUnI MATEROZZAand Don Dixao DE LA VEGA '!have been both in.the profession of the law in Astu rias; .and consiflerably distinguished for their profes sional capacity. Previous to the sailing of the Expedition from Gibraltar, a small Vessel is reported to have been sent to the Spanish Admiral at Port Mahon,- to in form him of its destination-and obje6t. A similar communication is said to have been made to the Spanish Governor.of Ceuta. As soon as Government are in possession of the official intelligence from Ad- Mital PURVIS, an Officer will be dispatched to Ca diz, to confer with the Leaders of the, Patriots upon the best means of assisting them. Earl GROSVRFIOR.haS opened his magnificent man sion in Grosvenor-street, late Gloucester-house, for the inspeaion of the fashionable world. This col lection of l'idures is very fine, though certainly not equal to‘that.of the Marquis of STAFFORD, . but the general style of deicoration is much more superb. The permission to visit Grosvenor-house is at present limited to four Fridays in succession, but it will most probably be extended, as it has excited so much ad miration and curiosity. .The most precise and rigid orders have been given that the visitors shall give nothing to the attendants, and those orders are strictly observed at this place, but little regarded at other places which wecould mention. ARG - YLE-STIIIIIRT.---Tbe rooms at this place were opened last night for the benefit of Signor LANZA, jun. a Composer of well-known ability.- The mu sical performances consisted of a Concert in meat, and an Operetta, of one a6t also, both which took place i4t the Concert Room. The Concert had the support of M.'s. MouNrwr, Miss Lyor, SIBONI, ELL/OT, EVANS, and NALDI, all of whom exerted themsekes with great zeal and effe& The Operetta was equally well supported by Mrs..4sljl3, MtAx- TENJ, his Wife, Madatne.ll'Avt , AY, , and Messrs. F. and G: LANZA. The Band was- ably led by WEICHSELL. After these performances a Ball took place in the lower room, and the whole atrordi , d much entertainment to a numerous and elegant au dience. THE THEATRE.—The Haymarket Theatre open ed last night for the Season. The dramatic pieces were, Silvesterbaggern,vod, The Castle Speare, and The Lying Paid. Mr. YOUNG, who made so very . favourable an impression lan the public last Season,• and who, possesses talents that entitle him to high distinction on the London -Boards; ;performed the character of Osmond, in the Castle Sprare, in a very able and impressive manner. indeed he may be considered as' the best representative of that charac ter which has yet been seen on the London Stage. He pourtrayei the avonies of guilt with truth, feel ing, and energy, and deserve 4 obtained great ap plause.; The part of Angela was performed by Mrs. BELLAtay, wife of Mr. RELLAUY, of Covent- Garden Theatre. Her person is very pleasing and interesting, and.she is a very respectribk actress.-- She is not . neW on the London stage, but her talents, Were formerly exerted only in comic parts. Her efforts last night, however, prove that her talents are able to, appear with great advantage in the tragic pro vince. Mrs. Bur.i.ssty was so much oppressed on her entrance by timidity, that it Was i ith difficulty she could proceed, till 'animated by tie kiudness•uf the andience. Her manner of receiving the spirit cat her ,ninther Wag particularly striking. xls tf impressed. with awe and terror, she retired at its 'first appearance, but gradnally gaining confidence, she approached it with veneration and regard, and was at elm: graceful, simple, and. impres3ive.—Ttie 'rest (iff the charaders were well supported.: LisTost atid MATH Ews are among the chief comic preps of this theatre, and the company has received several additions, which increase its strength and variety, and will probably render the season very nurglive. Pow ELL, the respectable Az::or of Drury-Lane, and Miss NORTtiN, 01 Covent-Garden, join a theatri-, cal corps at - Worthin g this summer.

Mr. itinnk LEWis,• as he is generally soled, has issued a lormidable manifesto,, prohibiting ad musical composers from appropriating the words of any songs which' nhty appear in his works to their own use. This prohibition, it there be stns foundation for it, slims, 'that with respect to Poetry, the . musicians Most be lathentably put to their shifts. The new 'Rowing Club, which has beeniinsfituted by certain young men of thOlion, wili probably en gage their skulls to much greater advantage than in any other manner. The' Judges who 'do not attend In the Cou r t of Session hi Scotland, or gii.e a proper excuse for their absence, are, 'by law, liable to a fine. This law, however, is never enforced but it is common, on the first day of the Sesioti, for the absentee to - send an extuse to the Lord President.. Lord Stonefield having sent such an excuse, on the President men dotting it, the late Lord Justice Clerk said, io his broad dialeet, " What excuse can a stout fellow like than hae ?"—" My Lord," said the President, " he has lust his wile.", The Justice replied, ¶' Has he ? that is:a gude dxcuse, indeed—l wish we'had a' the same." On Monday se'nhight a . violent fall of rain ; ac companied with tremendous peals of thunder, and incessant sashes of vivid lightning, was experienced in the neighbourhood of Hawick ; and we are sorry to add, that a man and w o m a n (b rot h er and sister), who lied taken shelter under some trees a iew miles south of that place, were both struck with the eleiric fluid and killed on the spot.—They had two dots with them, one of which was also su ucli dead.
